M-Sonic 950 therapeutic ultrasound device
DETAILS
The M-Sonic 950 is a modern, portable ultrasound therapy device. Its primary purpose is to provide pain relief and therapy for muscle tension and joint contractures. The device is compact in design, ergonomic in shape, comfortable to hold and easy to use in both home and professional environments.
M-Sonic 950 principle of operation and therapeutic effects
The device uses 1 MHz ultrasound that penetrates deep into the tissues. The ultrasound waves generate mechanical vibrations that have several beneficial effects on the treated area.
One of the most important effects is the increase in local blood flow, which results in vasodilation. Increased blood flow helps to reduce inflammation and speeds up healing.
Most patients do not experience any particular sensation during the treatment, but some report a slight warmth, which is a natural consequence of the increased blood supply to the tissues.
The M-Sonic 950 can be operated at three different intensity levels: low (L), medium (M) and high (H). The low level operates at 5% modulation cycle time, the medium at 50% and the high at 100%.
This allows personalisation of the treatment and a gradual increase in intensity according to the patient's needs.
The maximum output power of the device is 6.4W, which is sufficient to achieve the therapeutic effect while remaining safe.
Applications and therapeutic benefits
Ultrasound treatment is particularly effective for a number of musculoskeletal problems.
It is excellent for relieving chronic pain such as back pain, neck pain or arthritis.
It also plays an important role in relieving muscle spasms, as ultrasound can reduce muscle tension by penetrating deeper into the tissues.
It can also be effective in treating joint contractures by improving the flexibility of the tissues and increasing range of motion.
The therapy can also be particularly useful for athletes who often suffer from muscle tension or minor injuries. The treatment can speed recovery and reduce rehabilitation time.
In addition, the device has a head-warming function, which makes the treatment even more comfortable, as the ultrasound head is preheated to make the patient feel more comfortable.
Safe use and contraindications
Although the M-Sonic 950 is generally a safe device, there are conditions and situations where its use is contraindicated.
- Pregnant women (abdominal area) should not be treated.
- It is also prohibited for use on and around malignant tumours.
- The device should not be used on patients with pacemakers in the chest region.
- Use over bone growth zones should also be avoided until bone growth is complete.
- Particular care should be taken in patients with haemophilia or in areas where blood clots have formed.
- The use of the device in the eye area and immediately above the eye is prohibited.
- Treatment is also not recommended in cases of acute illness, fever, tuberculosis or facial paralysis.
- Ultrasound therapy should also be avoided in surgical areas, open wounds and burnt skin.
Treatment procedure and correct use
Proper preparation and following the correct protocol of use are essential for a successful and safe treatment.
The first step is to clean the area to be treated, removing all dirt and greasy substances.
Then, a generous amount of ultrasound gel is applied to the area, which acts as a coupling medium between the ultrasound head and the skin. The use of gel is crucial, as without it the ultrasound cannot penetrate the tissue properly.
Once the device is switched on, the head warming function starts automatically, which takes about three minutes. This preheating ensures a comfortable treatment and optimal efficiency.
The treatment time can be set to 5, 10 or 15 minutes using the "TIME" button.
When selecting the intensity, it is advisable to start with the lowest setting and gradually increase it if necessary.
During the treatment, the ultrasound head should be moved in a continuous circular motion over the treated area. It is important that the movement is smooth and that the head is always in good contact with the skin. The device has a built-in load-sensing system which immediately indicates if there is a break in contact.
For safety, the device is also equipped with a temperature protection function that automatically stops the treatment above 42°C.
Maintenance and care
Regular maintenance is required to ensure the long life and reliable operation of the device.
After each use, clean the ultrasonic head with a damp cloth or soft cloth. Clean with lukewarm water and a non-abrasive household cleaner. For more severe disinfection, a wipe impregnated with an antimicrobial cleaner (Clinell készülék fertőtlenítő kendő) may be used.
It is important never to immerse the appliance in liquid. Although the ultrasound head is IPX7 rated, the entire device is not waterproof.
The condition of the applicator should be checked regularly, particularly for any hairline cracks that could allow liquid to enter. The cables and adapter should also be cleaned and checked regularly for possible damage.
M-Sonic 950 technical characteristics
The M-Sonic 950 uses advanced technology for efficient handling.
It operates at a frequency of 1 MHz ± 10%, which is ideal for achieving therapeutic effects.
The maximum output power is 6.4W ± 20%, while the effective radiated area is 4.0 cm².
The device can be operated at three different power levels: low output 0,32W ± 20%, medium output 3,20W ± 20% and high output 6,40W ± 20%.
The device has compact dimensions (202 mm x 49 mm x 70 mm) and weighs only 193 grams without the adapter.
The ultrasound head is made of aluminium alloy, which ensures durability and proper ultrasound transmission.
The device has a Class II safety rating and contains BF type applied parts.
Electromagnetic compatibility and safety
The M-Sonic 950 meets the electromagnetic compatibility requirements of IEC60601-1-2. The device should not be used in the immediate vicinity of other electronic equipment, such as ECG equipment, even if it complies with EMC requirements. Keep a distance of at least 2 m from short-wave devices.
To ensure safe operation, the device should only be used with an adapter provided by the manufacturer. The input voltage of the adaptor is 100-240V, 50/60Hz, while the output voltage is 15V DC with a maximum current of 1.2A. The device does not contain a battery and is powered by mains power only.
Recommendation
The M-Sonic 950 is a versatile and effective therapeutic device that, when used correctly, offers a safe solution for the treatment of various musculoskeletal problems.
Its ease of use and portability allow it to be used in both home and professional environments.
Different intensity levels and treatment times allow for personalisation of the therapy.
Consult a doctor before starting any treatment, especially if you have a chronic illness or other health problems. Follow the precautions and contraindications described in the instructions for use. Monitor the effectiveness of treatments and possible side effects with regular use. If you experience any discomfort, discontinue treatment and seek professional advice.
Regular maintenance and proper storage of the device can significantly prolong its lifetime and ensure continuous, reliable operation. The two-year warranty provides additional security for users, but is only valid if the appliance is used as intended and the instructions in the user manual are followed.
